As they say to have a healthy and productive mind you need a healthy body.
My story is i was diagnosed with schizophrenia and lost all motivation a few years back. They put me on a medication that helped but made me gain an ungodly amount of health(i was 65kg before and in 4 months hit 115, not sure what that is in pounds), I refused to take that medication at that point and they changed it to something else which didn't make me gain weight but made me tired all day. After about a year i started jujitsu training with my father and the more i did it the better i felt. This got to the point where i decided to study a bit so i went and did some network engineering courses and graduated yay. My course was a 45min walk but i don't like walking so got a bike and cycled in everyday. My main milestone was getting back under 100kg But then the earthquakes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Christ...earthquake hit + over 15000 aftershocks and my ex left and things turned to shit, i got very unwell and had another medication change which really mucked with me for quite a while but recently things are getting back to what they were before and i can do the stuff i used to be able to do and im also now under 90kg. I am looking at getting back into jujitsu now and going back to work and can also look to the future.
It is good to see people who have overcome adversity and managed to stay positive
